New in Reader: Ghostreader v3 on web!
Chat with any document, now:
* Much faster
* Links to the exact sources in your document
* Preset prompts (eg summarize, lookup) built in
Better text-to-speech is possible, but none of AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc have released upgrades to their voices in years.
We're excited that @UnrealSpeech has filled this void and we'll be switching voices for @ReadwiseReader's TTS feature soon.
